Luke 6:49

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But he who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”
World English Bible (WEB)
But{G1161} he that heareth{G191}{(G5660)}, and{G2532} doeth{G4160}{(G5660)} not{G3361}, is{G2076}{(G5748)} like{G3664} a man{G444} that without{G5565} a foundation{G2310} built{G3618}{(G5660)} an house{G3614} upon{G1909} the earth{G1093}; against{G4366} which{G3739} the stream{G4215} did beat vehemently{G4366}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} immediately{G2112} it fell{G4098}{(G5627)}; and{G2532} the ruin{G4485} of that{G1565} house{G3614} was{G1096}{(G5633)} great{G3173}.
Strong's King James
(49) But one who's heard and hasn't acted is like a man who built a house upon the land without foundation, the river burst against it and straight away it collapsed and the wreck of that one house was great."
The F.O.G*
[49] But someone who hears My teaching and doesn't put it into practice is like a person who built a house on sand without a foundation. When the flood came, it collapsed immediately and was completely destroyed."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having builded a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream brake forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.’
